Hello everyone!

We’ve just released Alpha 2b. This update injected a lot of art assets. We added the final civilian 3D buildings (you can see the Kaek city below – there’s a different type for each race), and added completely new leader portraits for all leaders with many leader animations (you can see the “new” Sierra Thol’os below, for example). We also added the colonization cutscene and many new diplomacy texts for the different races, among several balance changes, UI tweaks and bug fixes.

This update is now available in the main branch of both Steam and Humble. For instructions on how to play the latest build please go here...

Alpha 1a Released!

Hello everyone,
we’ve just released Alpha 1a, a hotfix for the Alpha version released on November 29th, 2018.
This version fixes several issues, including a few major bugs. We also made several balance changes and some important AI optimizations. The AI is less cautious now and should provide a bigger challenge, especially on the higher difficulty levels.
Compatibility: Saved games from previous versions may work in this new version but we strongly advise that you start new games to benefit from the new changes and bug fixes fully.
What’s next?
With Alpha 1a out, with its fixes and enhancements, we’ll see into moving to closed-beta, where we intend to finish the game, by adding all the missing content and improvements with a release date set to Q2 2019...

Alpha Released!

Hello everyone,

We’re finally in Alpha! Interstellar Space: Genesis is now (virtually) feature complete.

It’s been more than five years working on ISG. We came a very long way since we first announced the game back in October 2016 (around 2 years ago).

This version contains all the gameplay systems and the game is now fully playable with 4 races at the moment. We plan to have at least 6 races at release.

There is a lot of new stuff since Pre-Alpha 10. Pre-Alpha 11 was a consolidation build where all the gameplay was added and playtested with the support of the community. If you’re interested to know the full history of changes since Pre-Alpha 10 please check this release note.

We are very pleased with the feedback we received from you...

Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable Hotfix released!

Hello everyone,

Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable has received a lot of great feedback from you in these past two weeks. We were very pleased to read your impressions of the game and we’re also glad to hear that you are having fun playing this version of ISG!

However, there were several concerns raised about this build, namely on performance as for quite a few nasty bugs and issues reported. This hotfix addresses those issues and we’re happy to report that the game requires much less memory to run now (1.5GB less!) and the experience is also much faster and fluid now as we did a lot of run-time performance optimizations.

We’re very much looking forward to have your thoughts on this new build.

Note: Save games from Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable may work on this hotfix but we strongly advise that you create ne...
